Assemblywoman Lifton sponsored a law to strengthen protections
against stalking. It would allow a crime victim to receive a
special order of conditions to maintain legal protections when
a defendant is found not guilty by reason of mental disease or
defect (Ch. 525 of 2003). She sponsored another law that makes
videotaping someone in their home without their knowledge a
crime (Ch. 69 of 2003).

Keeping high-powered guns off our streets

As long as guns are easily accessible, our community will not be
safe. Lifton sponsored legislation that would ban the possession,
use and sale of 50-caliber weapons
(A.7039).

Fighting domestic violence

Assemblywoman Lifton sponsored a law increasing the maximum duration
for orders of protection in domestic violence cases to 2 years and,
with aggravating circumstances, to 5 years (Ch. 579 of 2003). She also
sponsored legislation requiring the court to inquire about firearms
owned or possessed by the defendant in a domestic violence case
(A.6820).
